Wish my girls from my end of April hatch would start laying... I may not be able to incubate their eggs until April!
But, they are starting to look like big hens and they are filling out, so perhaps soon.

The Ameraucana National Show Report, as printed by Paul Smith on the Ameraucana Breeder's Club website, used with permission:
"The national Ameraucana meet is now history! It was held at the Bluegrass Poultry Association Show on Oct. 23, 2010 in Frankfort, KY. It was a great success for our breed! One hundred-fifteen large fowl and 113 bantam were entered from 13 states with only a few no shows. Tim Bowles judged both the bantams and large fowl.
The blacks were the largest class in both large fowl and bantams. The best of variety black in the bantam class was a pullet by Robert Walchak and his cockerel was RV. Mike Gilbert took top places in the blues with a pullet and cock respectfully. Robert Walchak filled the top of the blue wheaten class with his pullet. Mike Gilbert's cockerel from his Res. trio filled the RV. Robert Walchak's brown-red cockerel took the top honors in the brown-reds and Neil Townsend's cock was RV. Mike Gilbert won the buff class with his cockerel and John Blehm filled the RV with his pullet. John also had the top silver with his pullet and the RV honors went to Neil Townsend on his silver cock.
Top honors in the white class were claimed by Robert Walchak with his cockerel which also won BB, Best AOCCL and champion Ameraucana. The reserve white went to Jerry DeSmidt on his pullet which also won Reserve Breed and Reserve AOCCL. The AOV class had a pair of Blue Golden a cock and hen by Jerry Segler. There were several lavender-the top spot was a pullet by John Blehm, which was also the RV of the AOV class. The RV lavender was also a pullet, shown by Jerry Segler. The best AOV was filled by a splash wheaten by Jerry DeSmidt. Jerry DeSmidt also had the top scoring bantam display with 51 points in whites. Mike Gilbert showed the top two trios. The reserve trio was a set of blue wheatens and I think the champions were wheatens. Sorry it didn't get recorded.
Mike also had the top bantam pullet eggs and Robert Walchak had second with pullet eggs. There were not any bantam hen eggs shown.
The large fowl blue class was topped by Tom Kernan's cockerel. Jerry DeSmidt had the RV also on a cockerel. Tom Kernan's two blue wheaten cockerels claimed the top spots in the blue wheaten class. James Fegan's cock and cockerel respectfully won the top two spots in the brown-reds. Jensen Pierson's buff hen claimed the BV and Larry Clionsky's buff pullet was RV. James Fegan took both the top silvers with a hen and pullet respectfully. Barbara Campbell won the top two wheatens with a cockerel and pullet respectfully.
John and Ann Foley won the whites with a cockerel and a pullet respectfully. There were a pair of lavenders by John Blehm in the AOV class. His pullet was BV lavender and the cockerel was RV laveneder. The BV in the AOV was a splash cockerel by Jerry DeSmidt. Paul & Angela Smith had reserve AOV on a splash pullet. Now for the outstanding black class! The BV was a pullet shown by James Fegan purchased as a chick from John Blehm. She also won BB, BAOSB, Res. Ameraucana and Champion Large fowl of the show. The RV was also a pullet shown by Tom Kernan. She was also RB and RAOSB. The best large fowl eggs were by John and Ann Foley. The best display with 130 points was blacks by Jensen Pierson. Twenty-three exhibitors from 13 states made this a very successfully national Ameraucana meet!
A brief ABC meeting was held. Reports were given (minutes, sect. report, treasure report, bantam portrait, lavender update, future national meets) Jeannette Franks was awarded the ABC lifetime achievement award, then we adjourned for the awards presentation and a meal.
Oops! I almost overlooked the jr. show, which was held in the adjacent barn. Matthew Smith had the top two blacks which won BB and RB. Matthew's pair of wheatens also won BV and RV. Sorry I didn't get the jr bantam show results. Maybe Patty Pickard could fill us in. Things happen fast with a one day show! Angela and I managed to get photos of all the BV and RV bantams and Large Fowl in the open show."

My first of 3 from my April 28th hatch started laying this weekend so hopefully yours will start soon too.
I posted to the wanted section but I know many don't go over there...Sam my bantam roo is needing a few ladies like him..he only has cochin's and those fluffy things that don't even look like a chicken to keep him company
I'm looking for 1 or 2 nice BBS or even lavender pullets or hens.I don't want to hatch any more eggs..I have done that twice and darn now I have several mini roos looking for a new home or something to do here not 1 pullet
.Will pay shipping and not in a rush if you may have something coming up later on.
Finally.
The first of my April 21st hatch pullets laid a beautiful, tiny blood stained blue egg today.
now if the others would kick it in gear!

Keep an eye out for prolapse Mahonri, I've read blood stains can indicate the pullet is straining to lay her egg.
